The killing of Frank Lanzara at Westbury was the work of assaslns. They shot Lanzara as he sat at table with his wife and children concealing themselves in a thicket near the house and taking to flight when their mur¬ derous work had been accomplished.

I House owners may acc*!lt ttae i»tat»- ment of Ira H. WoolsoB, commltlDn enfjteeer of the National Bwsrd of Fire Underwriters, on the astountHng flre loss In ^Nassau, as an expression wor thy of earnest consideration.
Why men build expensive country homes and fall to insist upon the plans calling for the safety which alone may be secured through fireproof construe tlon, is a mystery to Engineer Wool- son, as it must also be to the general public.
"I cannol understand why the man who is building a magnificent mansion In the country, where it is not only exposed to a great flre risk because of its isolation, but also is at the mercy of careless eervants, does not take the flre risk into consideration." said Mr. VVoolson, in discussing the recent Nas¬ sau fires. "Of course, the loss of thi=' house may be nothing to the owner, but the loss of ita contents is great and sometimes irreparable."
"If a person .who builds insists on an artistic house, free from that touch of the practical which complete flre- proofing must bring, then let the house be so built that it can be protected in sections by flre walls.
"Take the home of Mr. Paul 1). Cra¬ vath at Ixicust Valley, which was de¬ stroyed. 1 do not believe that il could have been a more complacent invita¬ tion to a flre. Its very architecture meant that once attacked il would be swept by flames with a tolal loss. If each wing had been cut off by a fire wall and automatic doors, or even steel doors that could be cloaed by hand when necessary, the fire, which burned slowly, could have been con¬ fined to one win<.
"Hand grenades and flre extinguish¬ ers of all sorts are of the greatest value. They should be kept in all parts of these houses. They are not in the way, they lake up little room and are vastly valuable at the outset ot a blaze."
The opinion which Mr. Woolson t-x- presses regarding the more costiy homes,applySvitn equal force to dwell¬ ings of all grade.<
There is no time quite so "g?>bd as the present for the householders lo examine their premises with a view of lessening the fire hazard. As the Post said sometime ago, a tew dollars judiciously spent in correction of errors in wiring, piping and chimneys may be the means of saving a prop¬ erty.

The tesliinony offered before the Suffolk Coimty jury which is hearing the highway graft cases at Riverhead, for the most part is confirmatory of the charges.
Cobble stones as big as a man's liead were used in some places, when the contracts called for broken stone.
The road beds under the specifica¬ tions was to be full sixteen feet. .Measurements at more than tifty dif¬ ferent points show, according to the testimony, lhat the contractors went on the twelve-foot basis.
After a day of such testimony show¬ ing utter indifference on the part of the men .who were taking the state's jjironey it wa* a graceful act of Justice Kapper to permit the jury lo attend a moving picture show. The jury cer¬ tainly needed some sort of ligh*. re¬ laxation.

I Captain John Yalentine wiil com- ! mand this season the twin screw yacht j "Pansy" for the accommodation of j lishing parlies. The "Pansy" will make trips from the dock at Emil Schmidt's flsliing station. VVoodtleft Point.
To-morrow,if weather condilions are favorable, a^number of fishing clubs and individual anglers are expected to start the fishing season at Freeport, Wreck Lead, i^Jueenswater and Long Beach. Flounders are running at pres¬ ent and most of the fishermen will come out prepared for them.
Blackfish, one of the earliest of spring varieties that frequent the waters contiguous ' to New York and Long Island, are expected to appear soon. Market men in their Seabrighi dories have made their flrat catches off the Seventh Fathom banks and this w»ek fishermen with rod and line man anticipate that the flsh will be running In the vicinity of Freeport, Long Beach, Flre Island, and other places along L,ong Island's South Side. Blackfish like to cling lo wrecks where barnacles abound. The fall of the year is the best time for them, as they rud larger at that season. The spring specimens weigh from one pound up to sixteen pounds.
Blackfish bait on fiddlers, little neck clams, skimmers, soft clams, sheouer crabs, kl llies, mussels, sandwonr^s and blodworms. The fish are sometimes erratic In their appetites and several varieties of bait are frequently neces¬ sary to lure them. . The best tide is the flrst of the flood or the last of the ebb on which to catca them.
The best kind of hooks to use are the 4-0 to 7-0 Virginia "blackfish." Leaders are not necessary, but as the Ssh are bottom feeders, heavy sink¬ ers are necessary. Hooks should be tied close to the sinker, but not so. close a» to crowd it.

I House owners may acc*!lt ttae i»tat»- ment of Ira H. WoolsoB, commltlDn enfjteeer of the National Bwsrd of Fire Underwriters, on the astountHng flre loss In ^Nassau, as an expression wor thy of earnest consideration.
Why men build expensive country homes and fall to insist upon the plans calling for the safety which alone may be secured through fireproof construe tlon, is a mystery to Engineer Wool- son, as it must also be to the general public.
"I cannol understand why the man who is building a magnificent mansion In the country, where it is not only exposed to a great flre risk because of its isolation, but also is at the mercy of careless eervants, does not take the flre risk into consideration." said Mr. VVoolson, in discussing the recent Nas¬ sau fires. "Of course, the loss of thi=' house may be nothing to the owner, but the loss of ita contents is great and sometimes irreparable."
"If a person .who builds insists on an artistic house, free from that touch of the practical which complete flre- proofing must bring, then let the house be so built that it can be protected in sections by flre walls.
"Take the home of Mr. Paul 1). Cra¬ vath at Ixicust Valley, which was de¬ stroyed. 1 do not believe that il could have been a more complacent invita¬ tion to a flre. Its very architecture meant that once attacked il would be swept by flames with a tolal loss. If each wing had been cut off by a fire wall and automatic doors, or even steel doors that could be cloaed by hand when necessary, the fire, which burned slowly, could have been con¬ fined to one winbd as the present for the householders lo examine their premises with a view of lessening the fire hazard. As the Post said sometime ago, a tew dollars judiciously spent in correction of errors in wiring, piping and chimneys may be the means of saving a prop¬ erty.

The tesliinony offered before the Suffolk Coimty jury which is hearing the highway graft cases at Riverhead, for the most part is confirmatory of the charges.
Cobble stones as big as a man's liead were used in some places, when the contracts called for broken stone.
The road beds under the specifica¬ tions was to be full sixteen feet. .Measurements at more than tifty dif¬ ferent points show, according to the testimony, lhat the contractors went on the twelve-foot basis.
After a day of such testimony show¬ ing utter indifference on the part of the men .who were taking the state's jjironey it wa* a graceful act of Justice Kapper to permit the jury lo attend a moving picture show. The jury cer¬ tainly needed some sort of ligh*. re¬ laxation.

I Captain John Yalentine wiil com- ! mand this season the twin screw yacht j "Pansy" for the accommodation of j lishing parlies. The "Pansy" will make trips from the dock at Emil Schmidt's flsliing station. VVoodtleft Point.
To-morrow,if weather condilions are favorable, a^number of fishing clubs and individual anglers are expected to start the fishing season at Freeport, Wreck Lead, i^Jueenswater and Long Beach. Flounders are running at pres¬ ent and most of the fishermen will come out prepared for them.
Blackfish, one of the earliest of spring varieties that frequent the waters contiguous ' to New York and Long Island, are expected to appear soon. Market men in their Seabrighi dories have made their flrat catches off the Seventh Fathom banks and this w»ek fishermen with rod and line man anticipate that the flsh will be running In the vicinity of Freeport, Long Beach, Flre Island, and other places along L,ong Island's South Side. Blackfish like to cling lo wrecks where barnacles abound. The fall of the year is the best time for them, as they rud larger at that season. The spring specimens weigh from one pound up to sixteen pounds.
Blackfish bait on fiddlers, little neck clams, skimmers, soft clams, sheouer crabs, kl llies, mussels, sandwonr^s and blodworms. The fish are sometimes erratic In their appetites and several varieties of bait are frequently neces¬ sary to lure them. . The best tide is the flrst of the flood or the last of the ebb on which to catca them.
The best kind of hooks to use are the 4-0 to 7-0 Virginia "blackfish." Leaders are not necessary, but as the Ssh are bottom feeders, heavy sink¬ ers are necessary. Hooks should be tied close to the sinker, but not so. close a» to crowd it.
